Wakefield Cathedral

Summary

edit
Description
English: All Saints' Church was largely rebuilt in the Perpendicular Gothic style in the early 15th century and after years of neglect in the 18th century, owes its current late mediaeval appearance to a Victorian restoration by George Gilbert Scott and his son John Oldrid Scott between 1858 and 1874. In 1888, the Diocese of Wakefield was created and All Saints' Church became the cathedral of the diocese. It still serves as a parish church, meaning that until 2000 the head of the chapter of canons was called the provost, rather than the dean.

In January 2000 a parish boundary change brought the chantry chapel, on Wakefield Bridge, into the care of the cathedral.

In 2005 Queen Elizabeth II visited the cathedral to distribute Maundy money.
